Unless your mother worked out of the home, she wouldn't have had a SSN. Even if she did work outside the home, it was only post-war that women paid into SS, so that's less than 2 years.
If she did have a SSN, you can write a letter to the Social Security Administration requesting records on your mother's application and any benefits received. But if she was under 65 and not a widow, it's only mildly possible they have anything on her.
For those putting the SSDI up as the answer, her mother died 17 years before the SSDI was started. It's not going to help her at all.

If your mother died in 1948 she may not have had a SSN, it wasn't mandatory until the 1960s. I think very very few who died pre-1955ish would be on SSDI although you could look for her. You can look free at familysearch.org, rootsweb.com and/or probably ancestry.com.
What is it you need to document for your mother?

Stephanie, in the event that they have information, they're bogus information.... or, they have stolen somebody's id. one way they do it is to study the obituaries. in the event that they might get the deceased person's handle quickly adequate, they might get to his mail... and significant id which contain credit card numbers and financial company statements. it incredibly is merely one way they supply " information" so that they might get employed. The Immigration Reform Act of 1986 states that employers can not hire illegals.... yet it extremely is rarely, if ever, enforced.

Hey Max Cat,
The quick way is to look in the Family Search database by LDS. If your mother is listed there, they got the entry from the SSA. If your mother never worked, she might not have an SSN.

You can try the social security death index. FamilySearch.org has it. Rootsweb.com also has it. Now she will only be on it if you was drawing social security at the time of death on her own social security number.

You would need to look in the Social Security death index. You should be able to access it on Ancestry.com, but they do charge a fee.

You don't. It is classified information that is only released for a valid purpose.
